#TackleAnything

We believe periods shouldn't be a barrier to sport and yet the facts, particularly surrounding young girls’ participation in sport, are alarming. We are committed to ensuring the barriers involving menstruation and sport are removed and we are proud to work with a number of organisations to #tackleperiods in sport.

70% of girls avoid being active on their period

Our Partners

Whether your team-mates are depending on you for a match, you have a race booked that just happens to be at ‘that time of the month’ or you’ve got a regular training session that you just can’t miss, periods can get in the way of staying fit and active. Not with WUKA!

Welsh Rugby Union

WUKA are proud to be renewing our partnership with Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) Women's Team for a further two years. It’s been incredible to hear the positive impacts that wearing WUKA period pants has had on the team’s confidence and performance during training and matches. It means so much that our period wear is able to have such an impact on a national sports team.

Testimonials:

“Many of the players have felt more confident in both training and matches, allowing them to focus purely on their performance rather than worrying about leaking or comfort whilst on their period.” – Jo Perkins, WRU Physio

“Wearing white shorts during the game, WUKA gives me confidence to wear them with no worries.” – Hannah Jones, Captain

“It has actually changed my life receiving your pants, so much less worry during training and playing.” – Caryl Thomas, Prop

Watford FC

We are delighted to support the incredible women’s team at our local Watford FC. As well as providing period wear for the team, we’re engaging with the local community to help tackle period poverty. It’s been exciting to see WUKA represented at men’s matches to 22,000 fans, normalising a period wear sponsor at men’s games.

Hatfield Swim Club

When Hatfield Swim Club reached out to us, it was a no-brainer to support them. They are a stone’s throw from WUKA HQ and one of the only SwimMark accredited high-performance clubs, producing National, International and Olympic medalists. As part of the partnership our founder Ruby has a year’s swim membership.

London Titans

We’re excited to be partnering with Titans Wheelchair Basketball, with teams and players from international and Paralympic athletes to juniors. We’re supplying our WUKA Flex Detachable Bikini period pants to make it as easy as possible to have a comfortable period as an athlete in a wheelchair.

Testimonials:

“Using WUKA products allows us to be the best we can on the court, no matter if we are on our period.” – Alice, Titans Women’s Basketball

Ruby’s Story

“When I used to play sports quite a lot of the time the menstrual product used to fall off and cause huge embarrassment, and it stopped girls from going to school and playing sports at all, and that still happens in the UK, when the menstrual product gets seen, like the tampon string is hanging or someone notices a bulky pad. There is still a huge stigma that menstrual products should be hidden and not seen. We want to change this so people feel comfortable playing sports, whether at school or for their country.”
